Who Can Apply

If you are… Post to look at
A retired Naib Subedar (or equivalent rank) with SSC (C grade / 2nd division), an intelligence course and 5 years of field intelligence experience, age up to 52 Assistant Vigilance Officer (Field) BPS-14
A retired Havildar (or equivalent) with SSC (C grade / 2nd division), an intelligence course and 3 years of field intelligence duty, age up to 52 Inspector Vigilance (Field) BPS-11 (8 seats)
A retired Havildar (or equivalent) with SSC (C grade / 2nd division) who is computer literate, ideally with a supervisory clerk course, age up to 52 Inspector Vigilance Staff / Assistant BPS-11

The conditions also say: ex-servicemen for Vigilance Staff must be medically category “A” and their character at the time of discharge must be “Exemplary” or equivalent. Officials who were retired / weeded out on disciplinary grounds, or dismissed or debarred from future employment, are not eligible. Civilians and those who did not complete rank / coloured service cannot apply.

Not confirmed: the ad names Army-style ranks (Naib Subedar, Havildar) “or equivalent”. It does not list the equivalent ranks of the Navy and Air Force. If you retired from the Navy or PAF, ask the Vigilance office (+92-42-99202211, Ext 2217) whether your rank counts as equivalent.

Last Date: About 19 November 2026 (Estimated)

The advertisement gives no calendar date. It says the application must be submitted within 15 days of publication of advertisement. We counted from the newspaper date we checked, 4 November 2026 (Express Tribune e-paper, page 22):

Not printed, so please do not treat 19 November as official. The ad also says applications “received after last date” are rejected, and by-hand delivery is not allowed. Post and courier take days: send your file by 12 to 14 November if you can, and phone the Vigilance office (+92-42-99202211, Ext 2217) to confirm the exact last date.

Item As printed in the ad
Application fee Rs 400/-

Account A/C No. 0010000019473924, Allied Bank Limited, WAPDA House, Lahore Branch
Rule Candidates who fail to submit the application fee within the due date will not be considered for the exam

Check the account number twice. The number above is as we read it from the ad image. Older WAPDA vigilance notices on other websites show different account numbers, so always match it with the number printed in the current ad and on the official WAPDA form. Pay only in the bank into that account, never to a person.

Document Checklist and Sample Envelope

  • Application form downloaded from www.wapda.gov.pk, fully filled
  • Copy of detailed CV
  • Photocopy of Discharge Certificate
  • Photocopy of Course Report (intelligence course for the Field posts; supervisory clerk course if you have it for the Staff post)
  • Photocopy of CNIC
  • Attested copies of all educational and experience certificates (SSC and others)
  • 2 recent passport size photographs
  • Fee deposit receipt (Rs 400)
  • Postal / courier receipt (keep for yourself)

Application for the post of Inspector Vigilance (Field), BPS-11
To: Director (Vigilance) WAPDA, 217-WAPDA House, Lahore

This envelope line is our example. The ad does not require a particular wording, but writing the post name on the envelope helps the office sort the files.

Address and Phone

Who Address (as printed) Phone
Director Vigilance WAPDA 217-WAPDA House, Lahore +92-42-99202211, Ext 2217 (printed as 042-99202211, Ext 2217 in the footer)

Important Conditions From the Ad

  • Only eligible / shortlisted candidates are called for the test / interview. No TA/DA.
  • The written / screening test is conducted by the WAPDA Exam Cell.
  • No further age relaxation beyond the prescribed limit. Age is calculated as on the last date of receipt of applications.
  • Original documents must be presented at the time of interview.
  • Ex-servicemen for Vigilance Staff must be medically category “A”, and character at discharge “Exemplary” or equivalent.
  • Officials retired / weeded out on disciplinary grounds, dismissed or debarred are not eligible.
  • The initial appointment is on probation for 1 year, then regularization on satisfactory performance. Services can be dispensed with without notice during probation if work or conduct is unsatisfactory.
  • Applications with incomplete / incorrect information or received after the last date are rejected. Bogus information or documents found at any stage mean termination.
  • Roll number slips with test centre, timing and date are sent to candidates.
  • WAPDA can withhold or cancel the recruitment process at any stage without giving a reason.

What Is Not Confirmed

  • Last date: not printed. Our 19 November 2026 is an estimate (4 Nov + 15 days).
  • Salary: the ad prints only BPS-14 and BPS-11, not rupee amounts. We quote no figure.
  • Equivalent ranks: Navy and Air Force equivalents of Naib Subedar / Havildar are not listed.
  • Official notice: WAPDA’s Careers page lists a “Job Opportunities in WAPDA-Director Vigilance WAPDA House, Lahore” PDF dated 3 Nov 2026. We saw the listing but did not open the PDF, so we cannot say it is word-for-word the same as the newspaper ad. Use the official notice page to download the form.
  • Fee account number: read from the ad image; verify against the official form.
  • Test date, test centre and syllabus: not announced. Roll number slips come later.
  • Duty station: the ad gives a Lahore address for applications but does not say where the vigilance staff will be posted.
  • Whether the same ad appears in other newspapers on other dates: we checked only The Express Tribune e-paper of 4 Nov 2026.

Karna / Nahi Karna

Karna:

  • Download the form only from www.wapda.gov.pk and read the official notice there.
  • Send by registered post or courier, early, and keep the tracking receipt. Do not wait for the 15th day.
  • Deposit the Rs 400 fee in the bank and attach the receipt.
  • Attach attested copies, discharge certificate, course report, CNIC and 2 photographs. Keep a full photocopy of your file.
  • Phone the Vigilance office (+92-42-99202211, Ext 2217) to confirm the last date and your rank equivalence.
  • Share this with retired Havildars, Naib Subedars and ex-servicemen groups in Lahore and across Punjab.

Nahi karna:

  • Do not go to WAPDA House to hand in the file: by-hand applications are not accepted.
  • Do not pay anyone for a seat. Easypaisa / JazzCash / WhatsApp payments to an “agent” for a WAPDA job are a scam: the ad asks only for the Rs 400 bank fee.
  • Do not send original certificates: attested copies only. Originals are checked at the interview.
  • Do not apply if you were retired on disciplinary grounds or did not complete rank / coloured service: you are not eligible.
  • Do not trust a salary figure from WhatsApp: the ad prints none.

What Other Sites Say (and What We Add)

Before writing, we looked at what is already online (4 November 2026). In short:

  • WAPDA’s own site (Careers page): lists the “Director Vigilance WAPDA House, Lahore” notice dated 3 Nov 2026 as a PDF download. No post-wise table, no estimated last date.
  • Ilmkidunya: its WAPDA vigilance page is the October 2024 round (13 posts, Senior Vigilance Officer BPS-16, last date 2 Nov 2024). It does not carry this 10-post round.
  • EduVision: lists WAPDA security-staff notices for 2026 (Security Officer, Security Management), which are a different set of posts.
  • Blogs and PDF mirrors (for example Blogspot pages and Scribd uploads from 2019 to 2024): copy older WAPDA retired-personnel ads. Some show different fee account numbers, which is why we ask you to verify the account.
  • What nobody else gives for this ad: a row-by-row table of all 3 posts, a seat check (1 + 8 + 1), an estimated last date counted from the real newspaper date, a document checklist, honest “not confirmed” points and a clear karna / nahi karna.
